A fine quality solid 15ct gold pocket watch key fob perfectly at home worn as a pendant. Dating to the late Georgian early Victorian era this 3 sided watch key is set with a foiled backed clear spinel, a forest green flecked with red bloodstone and a pinkish white chalcedony stone. The stones are all natural and have been tested with the Presidium gemstone tester.
This is a fairly large size watch key still retaining the original soldered jump ring at the top that is wide bore for attaching to a watch chain clip.
The fob itself is delightfully decorative carved with scroll and curling feather motifs. Traditionally worn on a pocket watch chain these delightful antique fobs make very attractive necklace pendants.
We have added a new 18" (46cm) gold vermeil (gold plated sterling silver) Belcher chain for wear as a pendant. . Our chains are manufactured in the Italy and are high quality and fully hallmarked. With its elegant round links the Belcher or rolo chain is one of the most enduring antique chain styles still available today, perfect for wear with these fobs.
MATERIALS: 15 carat gold, acid tested
GEMSTONES: Spinel, bloodstone, chalcedony, tested, measuring approx 10.5x9.5mm
MEASUREMENTS: Height of the pendant including the jump ring is 1-3/4" (44mm) the actual key is 1-1/2" (36mm) tall.
DATE: 1830s
WEIGHT: 3.9 grams (key weight only).
HALLMARKS: None
CONDITION: In good antique condition with expected signs wear and age. The foil back behind the spinel has partly worn showing feathery inclusions and patchy areas deep within the stone but we think this adds to the unique antique charm of this lovely piece.
